  Six months ago, Brady’s true love, Cassie Arnold, walked into his hometown and his life. Everything was perfect, including their plans for their upcoming wedding—but one night, when he came home, Cassie was gone. 
  How could she just vanish? 
  Brady turns to his sheriff brother, Marcus O’Connell, and is stunned by what he discovers. Not only is there no trace of her, but it’s as if she never existed. 
  As they dig deeper into the days before Cassie vanished, Brady is stunned to learn of a series of mysterious phone calls, and he realizes his bride-to-be and her seemingly perfect smile were hiding dark secrets, including an unsolved murder at her family’s cabin in a hometown he’s never heard of. 
  Brady soon suspects that to find Cassie, he may also have to figure out what really happened the night of the murder—and why Cassie kept it all a secret.

  The duel is specifically about honour.  A principle that humanity often takes too far, even today. 
   
  In centuries past the duel was fought by two men who could resolve their quarrel in no other way.  The victim felt anything from slighted to humiliated and must regain his honour, whatever the cost.  Pistols at ten paces, or rather closer with swords, should see the matter settled.  Of course, despite its arrival at violence there were many rules ands traditions to take account of. 
   
  In this volume our classic authors explore all sorts of duels and the consequences of those actions.
